Abstract
Background: Upper limb spasticity is one of the most common complications associated with stroke. Purpose: To investigate the influence of kinesio taping on spastic wrist flexors in hemiplegia. Design: A pre-test post-test experimental-control design. Subjects: Thirty hemiplegic patients from both genders (male\female:23\7) were selected from the outpatient clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy; Cairo University. Their age ranged between (40 -65) years. Materials and methods: They were assigned randomly in two groups: group (A): Experimental group (n=15) received 12 physiotherapy sessions /3sessions per week and kinesio tapping treatment and group (B): Control group (n=15) received 12 physiotherapy sessions only /3 sessions per week. All patients were tested for Hoffmann reflex/myogenic response ratio (H/M ratio) before and after twelve physical therapy sessions using electromyography (EMG)
